# Supported Platforms

Following platforms are supported by Electron:

### OS X

Only 64bit binaries are provided for OS X, and the minimum OS X version supported is OS X 10.8.

### Windows

Windows 7 and later are supported, Electron should be able to run on Windows Vista, but there is no testing done on it.

Both `x86` and `x64` binaries are provided for Windows. Please note, the `ARM` version of Windows is not supported for now.

### Linux

The prebuilt `ia32`(`i686`) and `x64`(`amd64`) binaries of Electron are built on Ubuntu 12.04, the `arm` binary is built against ARM v7 with hard-float ABI and NEON for Debian Wheezy.

Whether the prebuilt binary can run on a distribution depends on whether the distribution includes the libraries that Electron is linked to on the building platform, so only Ubuntu 12.04 is guaranteed to work, but following platforms are also verified to be able to run the prebuilt binaries of Electron:

* Ubuntu 12.04 and later
* Fedora 21
* Debian 8
